    This sermon explores the depth of God's love, our understanding of it, and our responsibility to reflect that love through tangible actions towards others.

    Beloved friends, we find ourselves once again gathered in the shared warmth of God's love, a love so profound and encompassing that it defies our human understanding. We are here today, not because we are perfect, but because we are loved. Loved by a God whose love is not passive or distant, but ...read more

    Loving Others

    Contributed by Annie Springate on May 26, 2016
     | 8,373 views

    The commandment Jesus left us with is to love God and love others. In general we find it much easier to love God than we do loving others. Why is that? We have an enemy and when we realize his tactics we are better placed to fulfill Jesus' command.

    Loving Others • The Word of God is the most powerful thing that exists in the earth • Consistent attention and with full attention • It is our education If you want to be a doctor you need to be educated. If you want to be a carpenter you need to be educated, if you want to be a ...read more

    Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that God is generously, lovingly giving to us.

    1. When Linda, Laura, and I were living in Huntsville, Alabama we went out to eat one Saturday at a popular BBQ restaurant. We saw a wealthy couple from our congregation come in and be seated. We exchanged pleasantries and went on with our meal. When it came time to pay we found that our church ...read more

    Today, people are watching the movie, "Silence Of The Lambs" and today we will NOT keep silent about our Lamb (Of God)!

    We first see the story of Abraham and his son, Isaac, taking his son the son of promise to Mt. Moriah, that he was to sacrifice his son as a burnt offering to God. As they drew near to the time, Isaac asked the question, "Where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" And Abraham says, ...read more

    Correcting Our Double Vision Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,924 views

    This message addresses the problem of spiritual double vision; being focused on the things of God and the things of the world simultaneously. Jesus talks about treasure in heaven or earth; being full or light or darkness; and pursuing God or money.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Correcting Our Double Vision.” Double vision, according to Yale Medicine, is understood as being when someone sees two of the “same” image instead of one.(1) But today, I want us to think of double vision as seeing two “separate” images at the same time. ...read more

    The sermon calls us to embody Christ’s selfless love in everyday actions, making His love visible through unity, humility, forgiveness, and patient care for one another.

    Good morning, dear friends. If your week felt hurried and your heart feels thin, you’re in the right place. Take a breath. Set your shoulders down. Imagine the Savior kneeling with a towel at His waist, looking into the eyes of people who would soon scatter, and speaking a command as tender as it ...read more

    Forgiveness Tour

     | 273 views

    Praised be God. He will always give us the grace to accomplish anything He requires. The gift of forgiveness, even of our enemies, is ours for the asking.

    Tuesday of First Week in Lent 2025 Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God, as Genesis teaches, but our mental image of God, if we try to make one, is corrupted by our experience of other people. When the Greeks envisioned their so-called gods, they tended to be a lot more powerful ...read more

    Jesus makes it clear that our love for others is the cornerstone of displaying our love for God. In this message we look at what it meant when Jesus gave this new commandment to love one another.

    Loving One Another John 13:34-35 *** Watch: https://youtu.be/Jpv3Ygkp4Zc In a quick review of New Testament, I found that the phrase, “one another” was used 100 times, and 60% of the time it was written as a command, and even more telling is that 47 of these were written instructions to followers ...read more

    Jesus tells us today not just to forgive our enemies, something we heard earlier in the Gospel, but to wish them well, to do good to them, and, yes, to love them.

    Saturday of the First Week of Lent 2023 One of the worst heresies of the past two thousand years, an opinion that keeps coming back with almost predictable regularity, is the error first heard in early times from Marcion. The idea is that the God of the OT was a harsh, vindictive judge, almost ...read more

    The Authority Of Jesus In Our Lives. Series

    Jesus authority superceded all authority in heaven and earth. Unlike the chief priests and elders, who chose to challenge Jesus, we are to bow down to his authority and let His Most Excellency rule our heast, minds and souls.

    THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS IN OUR LIVES - BY REVEREND MATTHEW OLANREWAJU It has been coming! It has been coming for a long time, the only surprise here is the fact that the Pharisees, Chief priests and the elders had held on for so long before running out of patience with Jesus.

    What Would Jesus Do ... About Enemies

     | 13,722 views

    This sermon aims to help Christian teenagers (and adults) consider how they might respond to people who apparently take a disliking to them.

    WHAT WOULD JESUS DO ... about enemies? I wonder if you have ever had, or even have now, someone who just doesn’t seem to like you and who would apparently do anything to get at you? We probably don’t want to have enemies, but they’re there anyway, so what do we do about them? Well, first, ask ...read more
